Rosa revels in revelation!

Little Rosa Tinsley has the face of an angel but fans of the Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks will have recognised her as ‘young’ Lindsey Butterfield – the Gloved Hand Killer!

During the episode in which the identity of the murderer was revealed, eight-year-old Rosa acted out a flashback scene from Lindsey’s childhood when she shockingly pushes her sister into a lake.

The climax of the major storyline was shown as part of Hollyoaks’ 20th Anniversary Celebrations so was particularly exciting for Rosa to be part of the shock revelation.

Rosa’s mum, Victoria, said: “Rosa had an incredible time. She worked with a stunt co-coordinator and the director to perfect the action of pushing her sister into the lake. Fortunately, that involved a crash mat and no-one actually got wet! Her filming took place at the Lime Pictures studios and on location at Knowsley Hall.

Rosa added: “It was really exciting. When I was filming, the crew was also recording a high speed police car chase which was fun to watch from the actors’ Winnebago! I knew my story was part of a big storyline and I enjoyed keeping the plot a secret.”

The day after the episode was transmitted, Rosa went to London with her sisters and saw lots of London buses with the sign on the side of them saying: “Hollyoaks – One Killer Week”.

“It was funny to see the buses and know I was a part of it”, laughed Rosa.
